Official Description

“

This autumn-hued fjord represented the farthest east Hiccup and Toothless traveled on their world-mapping adventures before smoke trails led them to Eret’s devastated fort and, ultimately, to Valka and Drago’s war over dragons.

Toothless named this island during one of his and Hiccup's many explorations. It is near where they discovered Eret, Son of Eret and his band of dragon hunters. Once teeming with wild dragons, the Shivertooth is one of the few who remain.

Geography

From what has been seen of Itchy Armpit, one can conclude it is a beautifully forested area, with rocky hills and mountains. There is also a thick mist in many areas, although this may simply be due to the time of year. The forestry appears to be dense and autumnal in coloration, stretching across the entirety of the island.

Local Dragon Species

Though no dragons have been seen, Hiccup suspected there might be Timberjacks, Whispering Deaths and perhaps even a Night Fury living in the forests, though the latter was probably to cheer up Toothless. Although dragons seem to be absent, one can conclude there used to be many of them, seeing how Eret and his band made their base here.

Local inhabitants

The only known humans that lived in this region were Eret and his gang of dragon trappers. Seeing how they made their base here, one can conclude Itchy Armpit is a habitat for many dragon species, which is confirmed as they captured quite a lot of them. However, after the Bewilderbeast destroyed the fortress and freed their dragons, they were forced to leave to a new land in order to find more dragons for Drago's dragon army.

Appearances

Hiccup and Toothless first encounter this new area after a crash-landing. Hiccup then proceeds to make a drawing of it on his map. Upon asking Toothless what they should name it, Toothless proceeds to scratch his armpit, giving Hiccup the idea to name the area "Itchy Armpit."

After Astrid catches up with them on Stormfly, they fly over the area to discover a large section of the forest had been burnt by fire, and so was a fortress, covered in gigantic ice crystals. This leads them to meeting Eret and his band of Dragon Trappers.

Games

Itchy Armpit, referred to as 'Itchy Armpit Island' in this game, is a stage location the Dragon Riders flee to while being attacked by Drago Bludvist's armored dragon army. The player - playing as one of the rider/dragon pairs - must fire upon and break the armor from attacking dragons.

Itchy Armpit is incorrectly portrayed on the map in this game as part of Berk.
